Into the doubts that swirled around him this week, Steph Curry shot Friday night. His wayward shooting has been a topic for much of these playoffs due to injuries and weariness, but in Game 4 of the NBA Finals the league’s reigning MVP looked very much like his old self again. And the Golden State Warriors are one victory from their second straight championship.

These were the NBA finals that the Golden State Warriors were losing last year, and yet they acted as if the whole thing was a joke. They were supposed to be practising in Cleveland’s arena, trailing the Cavaliers 2-1 in the series, but this hardly looked like basketball practice.

The NBA’s perpetual underdogs finally saw the best season in franchise history come to an end on Friday night as the Toronto Raptors fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers 113-87 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. With the win, the Cavaliers reached their second consecutive NBA finals.
